a good blcoker not always is a good defender
i never say that, but in my opion the ability to block can make your defense better.
Defence under the basket is a lot about fighting for the right position and anticipating the opponent moves and plays, thats part of ID. But it is also important to make shots more difficult in avoid a clear sight on the basket and avoid a "flat" throw(if you had to throw above a opponent who jumps up and takes his arm in the air you have to throw higher which is in must cases more difficult and sometimes he get the finger betwenn ball and basket so this is for me part of blocking). So i could imagine that maybe 3 blocking skills could act like an additional ID skill, or maybe give a percentual boost?
The problem of arena is/was that too bigger arenas are unrealisti
and you have no problem with paying milliosn for nothing, and in this case it is just bad manager decision. Wher it was in arena thing a clear unlogic decision? The arena thing was even easier to see, than the blocking thing so that you could better adapt to it.
